There are many options at VWR. These are typical ones I've used. This one looks good (calibration records, meets standards for monitoring temp and humidity in labs) , but you can look at other models. It depends on what you want for logging capability (remote, etc.) . https://us.vwr.com/store/catalog/product.jsp?catalog_number=35519-045

Yes, if you want logging the microdaq stuff works well. I've used HOBO monitors without the display. You can download graphs to computer. Supposedly battery lasts a year (replaceable) and you can set samping frequency. This one looks good. Also has a calibration service option. http://www.microdaq.com/occ/u14/u14-001.php
Any ideas where I can find this simple little pull? It's used as a handle on the floor openings to our holds. I've had no luck at big box hardware stores.
